Welcome to our Celebrity Weekend!

We proudly announce that last year’s attendance at the FREE Football Camp and Health Fair surpassed all previous participation! Over 800 kids from the community enjoyed free food, free posters, NFL grab bags, and autographs!!

We kicked off the Celebrity Weekend with a visit to El Paso County Children’s Hospital, and brought smiles to many young patients! The public received free photo ops and autographs at our annual “FREE Meet & Greet at N3L Optics in Cielo Vista Mall.

signed autographs for the kids and encouraged them to follow their dreams.

There were over 20 booths with community health agencies offering health information and giving simple health screenings to kids and parents with the help of Molina Healthcare.

Another highlight was the presence of 95 children from Lee & Beulah Moor Children’s Home, and from El Paso Child Protective Services. They enjoyed a delicious, free breakfast sponsored by Golden Corral at Andress High School.
